her shared profile info:

 I started stamping and scrapbooking in 1995.   I started my blog in 2012 so I could join challenges.  Over the years I have been on different design teams and I am still on a few.  Unfortunately I can no longer make handmade cards due to my bad hands and bad eyes.   I suffer from Fibromyalgia and bad Osteoarthritis everywhere, Macular Degeneration and glaucoma.  I can’t see to colour any more so I make digital cards with precoloured digi stamps and papers.

I have two daughters, four granddaughters and one great grandson.  My granddaughters and all their friends call me Granmargaret.  My eldest granddaughter and my great grandson live with me and my husband in Sydney, Australia.  Thank you to Becca for having me as guest designer this month.
